Relive the triumphs and tears from a tennis career like no other I don't know whether you realise what you've done I hope you guys enjoyed it, I tried my best Listen only on BBC Sounds. BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts. I'm not advocating this,

obviously. I could never. FA, don't get in touch. But if you were, just hypothetically, if you were to sabotage another team, what would the tactics be? Food poisoning. what would the tactics be food poisoning all i want from ella oh you've never called me that before you've never called me ella before i don't think called me Ella before. I don't think that was so weird. Okay, all I want from Toonie

is to be a little bit more open-minded when she visits somewhere new. And it's not just London. It's LA as well. Remember when we went to LA? Yeah, it's just not my bad, that. She just moaned the whole time about... Oh, I did.

You did? About the jet lag or about the food. Oh, the jet lag killed me. I was waking up at four in the morning, starving, and all I had was Skittles on killed me. I was waking up at four in the morning, starving, and all they had was Skittles on the side. I was living off Skittles, and then at night time, I was like, at the dinner table.

It killed me. I'll take your feedback on board. I like what I like. Sometimes we're watching a film and we have a nap before a meeting or before whatever. I know what you're going to say. And she fell asleep, and i must have fell asleep or no i was on my phone because i don't really nap and then i remember saying that she had treatment you always nap

you're such a brave and saving i don't really nap she's like yeah you do we were having a nap and we were like don't really nap anyway Les like told me that she had treatment say it was half five and then it got to like

twenty to six and she was still asleep and I thought oh she must have set an alarm if she's got treatment she hadn't set an alarm so then I'm like Les

Les I think you've got treatment she woke up she went she went, She went, why have you not told me? Why have you not woke me up and told me? And then she apologized because I was like,

why is that on me? That I've got to wake you up for your treatment? But it was funny because she woke me up 20 minutes later thinking I had treatment, but really she knew I had treatment, but decided to wait in case I heard an alarm. If anyone else wants to know this story as well, I just thought of it randomly in my head.

What, just then? Yeah, that me and you like to do. We went through this phase of, like two different people Oh talking in the accent And we was like So I weren't Ella anymore And I didn't sound like this I was actually Eloise

And I spoke in like some mad American accent And we just And I was Alyssa It was only like last year But what do you mean? You were just going about life Pretending to be someone else No we were just like

Just to each other Oh right So we'd sit and talk to each other and be two different characters and they were both american just as to give us a straight the point what did that look like hey alissa like today has been really amazing yeah we just used to go on this mad conversation that was so unrelated to what we'd been doing that day yeah and then suddenly we just switched back to ella and alessia like how every so often um alessia just give like a little stroke i know you do like to do that like playing with feet

no i don't do you know no i don't i've got my socks No. Do you not always talk about feet? No, I don't. When I've got my socks on and my foot's near you... I just would give you a little bit of affection every now and again. Yeah, on my toes. But no, I do not like feet, especially not your feet. Do you have that friend who you'd class as a day one? Keira.

Yeah. Keira, yeah, in football she's... I've known herwybod ers 12. Ac rwy'n cofio, rwy'n mynd i'r camp gyntaf a byddwn ni'n ymuno ar y hip o'r hynny. Os yw Keira yn dweud eich bod chi'n chwarae da, mae hynny'n golygu'r byd gwirioneddol i chi. Oherwydd, nid ydych chi'n ei ddweud am bawb. Fe wnaethon ni sgwrs, fe wnaethon ni ddweud am hynny. Fe wnaethon ni sgwrs, roedden ni'n mynd i'r Cymru i weld, ac roedden ni'n cael sgwrs a dweud,

Ydych chi'n credu bod gen i gyda Euro? Ydych chi'n credu fy mod yn chwarae da ar y Euro? Fe wnaeth hi dweud, wel, os nad ydy She said, well, if you didn't, we wouldn't have won. I said, that's not the question. That's not why I asked you. I said, do you think I played well at the Euros? She said, I don't understand why that's not, like, wouldn't answer it. And then in the end, she was like,

do I think you grew through the tournament? Yeah, I said, cheers. Okay, fine. It doesn't matter. We won anyway. Manchester United and England goalkeeper Mary Earps recently said that if something went missing in camp,

it would, I quote, it would 100% be Ella and Alessia. Tooney would thieve, she said. Alessia would distract. She said that. I don't know how to take that. Yeah, we would, but why is she calling me a thief?

To be fair, we did rob a Milky Bar's. There you go, that's why. She loves Milky Bar's and, yeah, we did take a few of them. When I'm just thinking of Mary saying that we'd be the thief and I'd be the distraction, it just makes me think of when you had to get up with a spasm in. Oh, it was so funny. So, basically, it was Toonie's birthday on camp.

So me and Katie Zellum were like, well, we need to get Toonie out of her room so we can go into her room, put up banners, put up balloons. That's nice, isn't it? We text Mary and she was like, we need you to help distract Toonie and get her out of her room. So Mary texts you, didn't she? No, she rang me and I thought, that's weird.

Like, Mary never rings, never really rings, never mind ringing me. She's like, please come to my room quick. And I'm thinking, oh my God, what's going on? I ain't good with criers, by the way. So anyway, I'm panicking, shut my room, runs out, runs down the corridor. I'm like, I'm coming, Mary, I'm coming.

It's going to be all right. I don't know what's going on. So I get to the room and it's on the latch. I'm like, I'm coming, Mary, I'm coming. It's going to be all right. I don't know what's going on. So I get to the room and it's on the latch. And I'm like, so I put the phone down. I'm like, Mary, I'm in here, I'm in here. And I'm like, right. So I go in the bathroom. And she's like, in the bath.

And she's like, I've got a back spasm. I can't get out of the bath. And I was like, oh, you want me to get you out? So I'm like, all right, like, we don't really know what to do. Anyway, she's half hanging out of the bath. And she's like, oh. And like falls back in. And I'm like, Mary, I'm like getting you out here.

She's like, oh, don't worry. I'll stay here. Bearing in mind, I've been in the room for about 20 minutes. Mary's taking her performance like serious. Mary thought she was winning an award. She thought she was like an actress, like she was proper taking it seriously. She took it so seriously. So anyway, gets her half out and I'm thinking, you could have got out then, like what are

you doing? She's like, don't worry, it's fine, I'll get out at some point. I'm like, alright, so I leave and then as I get back to my room these two idiots jump out and like surprise if i wanted a hug i'd go to grace clinton oh yeah everyone would go to grace yeah but she sometimes too much like dangling off my neck and i'm like grace yeah she's a proper she's a proper hugger yeah she does love a hug what's the the reason for the hugs? Is it just... No reason. She's just like a little sloth. That's what I call her.

She's like a little puppy. She likes to hug like... She would like to hug Serena. Yeah. She loves hugging, like anything and anyone. Even like... There's a lot of times where I'm like, she's hugging me and I'm not hugging her back.

And it's just a bit weird really, but she loves it. Like she just doesn't let go. And she said to me on the camp just gone, she went, have you ever hugged a tree? And I went, no, grace of heaven, have you? She went, yeah, and I'm just going to do one like later. Like we were going on a walk.

She was like, I'm going to hug one later as well. And I was like, you're such a weirdo. I'm really growing into my role as third wheel in this friendship. I'm really enjoying it. I feel like third wheel tonight. I've not got the cardigan memo. Oh, no one texted me saying,

bring your cardigan tonight. What's wrong with the cardigans? No, no, I'm not saying anything's wrong. I just feel dead left out over here. Just didn't get the cardigan memo. And it's been happening a few times on this pod where I've been feeling a little bit left out. What, as the other side?

What do you mean? I think it's because we both like country music and she doesn't. You can listen to it if you want. I actually went on camp and was talking about it. I was like, yeah, well, Vicky's meant to be the third wheel and at the minute I feel like that it's me. I'm a big country music fan. Who do you like? Luke Holmes is my favourite. Oh yeah. Oh now you's are bezies. I'm an overpacker. Oh me too.

Me too. I'm not. Shock is a bowl full of packers. Alessia describe your perfect holiday. It would be somewhere in Italy. Go and sit on a beach all day and then go out for a really nice dinner in like a little Italian town. What's your ideal holiday? I am a beach... Oh, here we go again. I'm not surprised anymore. I came with this much energy, now I'm here. Now it's sapped. Now, now I'm here. Now I'm clapping down here. I was supposed to start the WhatsApp group.

I've got both your numbers, Alessia, there we go. Oh no, sorry, that's just a one-on-one message. No, sorry. I'm making, I'm making, I meant to make it. How rude is that? I meant to make it. Just say it, you don't want me here. I'd probably, I'd go for an orange juice,

a fresh orange juice over a fruit. Bits or no bits? Bits. Oh, shot. fruit. Bits on all bits. Oh, no. What? I ate bits. Just like something I like. Found Alessia Russo's wiki feet.

Now, for those who don't know, this is a collaborative celebrity feet website. Collaborative. Where your feet are rated by members of the general public who are that way inclined um would you like to know your foot rating yeah 4.8 out of 5 i thought you're gonna say what i thought you're gonna say no way 87 total votes 55 have rated beautiful 18 nice 13 okay three have said they're bad and two have said ugly. But... Ida said ugly.

Oh! They're not ugly. Yeah, but you have got a crooked toe. You have got a bad crooked toe. No, I don't think they're bad. I would go 4.8 too. No, you wouldn't. I would.

You wouldn't change them if you could and you could get some 4.8 toes. No, I'm happy. I agree with the 4.8. Because we stay in loads of hotels, we've had this conversation loads. Like, what do you do, right? Do you untuck the bed or do you lie in it with it tucked in?

I get in and I go, why didn't I untuck this bed? Because this isn't comfortable. Who wants this? Yeah, and then you have to get out. Oh, you get out. But first you start by just kicking it. Yeah, and you can't get it out. Maybe I'll do it with my foot.

I know some people though who sleep with it tucked in. That's mad. That's psycho behaviour, that. They must just be stuck there. Yeah, because it's like glued. My feet would... I'd be like... I'd be like that.

Yeah, I hate that, me. I hate that. It's lovely, it looks nice, but it's a pain. I mean, everyone loves Ibiza, especially in football. I feel like it's a place where people love to go and just switch off and have good music, have good vibes over there. So, yeah, it should be fun. When it comes to the nightlife and going out, are you into it?

I like going out in the day yeah and then sleeping at night less is a sleeper i'm a sleeper like when i don't have enough sleep i feel horrible so i'm happy to go on whatever the group plans throughout i'll probably be planning it in the day and then at night i'd like like a little chill apart from oshawa at night apart from oshawa is great because it's over by midnight anyway it starts at like five yeah that's perfect it's ideal yeah like the parties that go on like through the middle of the night that's just not for me i can't i'm in bed asleep that's the thing like we are usually home playing scrabble by midnight because adam set set finishes at 11. But sometimes if my friends are out,

we'll go across the road to high. We'll go for dinner at midnight and then go across the road to high because it only starts really at one. David Guetta's not on till four in the morning. That is not a good image. Wow, yeah, that's heavy. It's crazy.

That's proper party. Yeah. Yeah. We're not them type of people. That's fine. That suits me just fine. We can play Scrabble together. Next stop, Ibiza.
